The For You Are Mine team had the chance to experience a traditional Vietnamese wedding of Mai Chi and Son Le last December 2, 2012. I love how Chi called themselves, Mr. Right, and Mrs. Always Right!

Before the big day, we had a quick shoot with Chi and Son in the streets of Ho Chi Minh. Witnessing love from different parts of the world and being able to share it through wedding videos was something all of us will forever keep and cherish.

It took more than 12 hours in the making as it started with releasing of birds and eels before 6’o clock in the morning. Then it was followed by a series of ceremonies from the bride’s home to the groom’s. Everyone can feel the anticipation of both families as everyone had their own responsibility during the wedding day. Some of Chi’s friends were heaven sent! They came all the way from Virginia and Hong Kong, making it easy for us to communicate, work well and understand the rituals of their wedding.

To come across the culture of the Vietnamese tradition was a very unique experience to all of us. They trusted our talents, and the couple generously welcomed the team. It is truly an honor to us Filipino videographers that we were chosen by Chi and Son to document their very special day.

Our bride told me, “This will not be your last time to go to Vietnam! Everyone is asking who did the video!” –Mai Chi
